Summary

Chickasaw City High School is a small public high school in Chickasaw, AL, serving 241 students in grades 9-12 within the Chickasaw City district, a community where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school shows a fascinating mix of strengths and challenges. On the positive side, math proficiency has improved dramatically—jumping from under 5% to 18.6% in just two years—which is more than double the district average and actually beats nearby schools like Lillie B Williamson High School (5.4%) and Mattie T Blount High School (10.4%). The school also maintains a favorable 13:1 student-to-teacher ratio, and its Special Education students have shown they can excel, ranking in the 89th percentile just a few years ago. However, English proficiency is critically low at just 7.1%—less than a quarter of the state average—and has remained stagnant for years. The graduation rate is also a major concern, swinging wildly from 92.3% to 48.9% and back to 61.5% over the past four years, far below the state's 91.5% average.

The most pressing issue is chronic absenteeism. At 23.2%, it's nearly double the state average and five times the district rate, and it has stayed stubbornly high even as the district's rate has plummeted. This is particularly striking when compared to Mattie T Blount High School, which serves a similar demographic but has an absenteeism rate of just 2.6%. The contrast with nearby Saraland High School—just 3 miles away with a 98.4% graduation rate and 44.6% math proficiency—highlights the significant impact of socioeconomic factors, though Chickasaw does outperform its own district in math and science. For parents, this school offers a dedicated staff and improving math instruction, but literacy support, attendance initiatives, and graduation stability need urgent attention.

They do not prepare students for the next level of education. They refuse to send children home with home work to be better prepared to take test and exams. They lack the funding to keep the doors open, yet the state will not step in. Close Quote

Football is more important than literacy. The elementary and junior high school shares the building as well as the priorities. Students know they are free to disobey, so eventually bullying will be uncontrollable, nearby homes sell for 10k to 50k, tops, so it is evident that highly educated people are not fighting to bring their children to this district.
